<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>What does this list think of equity orders 
placed on broker's web-sites? I use Brown &amp; Co. and was a satisfied customer 
in the beginning. But lately, I have been quite disappointed. I placed market 
orders&nbsp; (buy and sell) and kept an eye on real-time quote. But the 
execution report came back as much as 3/4 of a point against me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Do I have a reason to be concerned? Can there be 
manipulation or foul-play involved? I am sure some of you will suggest to only 
place limit orders. But that misses the point. If there is, in fact, a problem 
with web-orders, some of the limit orders may not be executed when a 
conventional order placed through a broker may.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Web orders are certainly convenient. Having only 
one phone line, I don't have to disconnect my internet connection, call the 
broker and possibly be on hold until the broker answers.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I am looking for general feeling of this group on this 
subject.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
